I would like to remove the glass from my traveller rear doors as i am redoing the wood. Can anyone offer some advice on this? Best, Phil.

Sure! I've just done this, as a complete novice too! Do you have a guide book, like the Haynes restoration booklet? It has a good section in it!
Anyway there are 3 wooden batons on the left&right&bottom sides of the glass. These are screwed in with 2 screws each. Unscrew all, make sure you keep the wooden batons safe! NEXT at the top of the door, were it curves in an arc, you need to take out the 2 screws at each end of this piece.
This will enable you to get access to the glass. It will probably, like mine was, been mastic's in do you may need to 'pries' it out CAREFULLY!
Hope this is an okay basis...i think i have everything!

You shouldn't need to remove the top screws, just the three wooden fillets. then carefully push the bottom of the glass out, and then pull down. The top of the glass simply sits in a slot in the top wood. BUT, there will be a lot of sealant in there!
